Hello people! The answer to bulky, heavy strollers is here. I just had to say that. As you can probably tell, I’m not a fan of bulky and heavy strollers. I prefer compact umbrella type strollers. The problem with that is, that for the most part cheap umbrella strollers don’t offer the same protection as the bulkier strollers do, so therein lays the dilemma. Well…Graco came out with the UrbanLite, and as the name suggests, it’s light! It weighs in at less than 20 lbs and is quite easy to maneuver. For the fashionista in you, the Graco UrbanLite comes in a lot of different patterns that will get a lot of oohs and aaahs as you stroll on by, and not all of them will be for your adorable little one. If you have a little girl, the Zoey pattern is pink on black with beautiful bold white flower patterns and if you have a boy, and you’re a minimalist, the Clairmont and the Flint patterns would probably be ideal for you. However, just because I recommend the last 2 patterns for baby boys, doesn’t mean that it can’t be used for a little girl. I love the design of the Zoey pattern, but as we have a baby boy, we went for the Flint pattern. A very simple desing in color tones that would suite either a boy or a girl.

What to expect from the Graco UrbanLite Stroller
- Lightweight and easy to maneuver (I love pushing around my baby because of this)
- Even if it’s lightweight, it can hold up to 50 lbs.
- One hand standing fold. The Graco UrbaLite stays standing even when it’s folded up.
- Extra large storage basket (I still find that it doesn’t have enough space for ALL of baby’s things and my things)
- 180° rotating canopy so that you really do get the coverage you want for your baby.
- Parent and Child cup holders. Child’s cup holder and tray pivots so that you can get your baby in and out with very little problems.
- Very well padded and the seat reclines into several positions, including flat.
- Convertible 3 or 5 point harness so the stroller adjusts to the growth of your baby.
- Single front swivel wheels make this stroller extremely maneuverable.
The Cons of the Graco UrbanLite Stroller
- Difficult to reach for your things in the storage basket when the stroller seat is fully reclined.
Conclusion
Personally, I haven’t found anything I don’t like about this stroller; it’s got all the durability and protection of the bigger strollers without all the bulk. On top of that, it’s a lot easier to handle and maneuver in tight spots. I checked the internet, and there aren’t a lot of reviews out there, this post might actually be one of the first. Baby loves the stroller, I do and my husband certainly has had no negative feedback so far. So, all is good for us with this stroller.
